Nothing like having fruit yogurt after a delicious meal.In store there is not much choice of fruit yogurt.We get only strawberry fruit yogurt.In dubai we used to have quite a few varieties of fruit yogurt but not here.So i thought of making fruit yogurt at home.The combination of mango and dates are too good to express and that too topping of raisins and walnuts enhanced the taste of the fruit yogurt.Here is the recipe which is quite simple and can be done in a jiffy.

This is in continuation with my earlier post on summer specials.These are done in summer and eaten in the whole year.I have given the link of previous post on summer specials at the end of this post.

Sagubiyam/Sabudana vadiyalu are must in any andhra house.These are dried in the sun for 2-3 days and eaten in the whole year.This recipe too calls for very few ingredients and just melts when deep fried.

This too i ate quite frequently at any restaurant.This is my kids favourite soup.This is done by daughter,the only thing i did is switch on and switch off the stove.She is yet to reach that age where she can cook by herself,she is just 8 years old.This recipe calls for very few ingredients and doesn't takes much time to prepare.

Dosa is the most preferred breakfast in any south indian home. And i my house too i make dosa thrice a week.Sometimes i get bored of eating the same dosa.For kids i make cheese,vegetable and egg dosa very often as kids get bored quite easily and can never force them to eat the same thing.

When ever we go out for breakfast or dinner my choice is always masala dosa and when we go to Kamat the only thing i order always is mysore masala dosa.Made masala dosa at home many times but not mysore masala dosa.Remember seeing this recipe atPrathibha's blog The chef and her kitchen.Then browsed her blog for the recipe and made this.Chutney is from my blog which can be find here and mysore masala dosa recipe is from here

Oriental style paratha is the paratha which i don't make it quite often as it involves too much of chopping veggies.I do it mostly when i am in a mood to eat something nice and in a mood to spend much time in the kitchen.I posted Oriental style paratha on my blog and this is just an addition of paneer in the paratha.

The reason behind sharing this recipe with the pictures is simply to show off my paratha and my photography skills.

Daughter getting restless to bite the paratha...

Ingredients:-

Wheat flour 3 cups

Salt to taste

Water to knead the dough

Make a soft dough and keep covered until use.

For paratha filling

Paneer (i used amul paneer) mashed 1 cup

Cabbage 1cup grated

Carrot 1 cup grated

Beans 1/2 cup chopped finely

Spring onions 1 cup chopped finely

Ajinomoto a pinch

Soya sauce 1 tsp

Pepper 1 tbsp

Salt to taste

Oil for frying the filling and for frying paratha

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a kadai and when hot add all the veggies.Stir fry veggies on high flame until they change colour (this is done quite similar to chineese veg fried rice).

Then add the mashed paneer and fry for another 2 minutes on a low flame.

Now add ajinomoto,soya sauce and pepper.Mix well and let it cool.

Roll out a thickroti.Place 2tbsp of the stuffing and close the edges.

Flatten it and dust it with more flour and roll out until the stuffing is not seen

Sometimes you see something and you will never forget.This recipe is like that to me.I saw and read about the curry long back and wanted to try that very badly.

Very healthy recipe and even my kids too loved it (my kids are fussy eaters and they just hate to eat anything new and that too veggies)

This recipe is from a blog which blog names says it all.It is Healthfood desivideshi by Sangeetha.There was a bread too with this curry but i didn't had guts to make the bread using yeast.I have few flops with yeast and didnt dare to attempt it.I had this curry with fulka and brown bread.I loved to eat it with brown bread.Do hope to Sangeetha's blog for this recipe and for other healthy recipes.

I love summer for few things which we get only during or beginning of the summer.Apart from mangoes,munjulu,gongura we get chinta chiguru (tender tamarind leaves).Got back my childhood memories when i saw chinta chiguru at weekly market here.My school was in the middle of a big campus which had so many trees like mangoes,guave,tamarind etc..When we went for our report card we used to pluck these leaves and eat it raw.We used to jump high to pluck the tamarind leaves from the trees.It was such a bliss to eat it fresh and raw.No need of washing just we used to pluck it and eat it

I love the tangy and sour taste of the leaves.This week market i brought the leaves and made mutton curry with it.Here goes the recipe:-
